The club that is known as the “6th Big Club” is worthy and proud, fond of memories of old glory and fans rooted to their beloved Parque Patricios neighbourhood. A stadium like no other in the world, combining glamourous art déco and concrete chairs with worn-off paint. A club filled with nostalgia and real passion.
Where we'll meet - Our group will meet in Palermo or in Recoleta neighbourhood. Your bilingual guides will explain the context of Argentine football, the day’s game and Huracán’s history. More importantly, they’ll let you know exactly what you need to do and be aware of to be one of the lucky few to gain entry into the Palacio Ducó.
The Build-Up - We’ll grab the metro and walk along the streets of Parque Patricios. Grab a choripán and a beer at the street or stop by at a rough and ready parrilla, mingling with Huracán fans and learning their traditions, especially how to do the correct wrist-flick for our agite. Your guide will accompany you in reduced groups (6-8 pax) to the correct entrance gate, through the squeeze of security controls and police checkpoints, and finally into the ground.
The match - Through the turnstiles and up the stairs - the Tomás Adolfo Ducó is known as the Palace for a reason. Nostalgic, beautiful, decadent, dreamy. You’ll sit in concrete chairs or stand in the terraces with the fans, singing the songs that your guide will teach you, together with Huracán’s rich history.
The Come-Down - The game is over but memories are forever. You’ll head back to a secure spot walking along the Parque Patricios streets. Your guide will assist in pointing you in the right direction to get back home safely or catch the metro together.

Important to know
- For some clubs, tickets are very hard to come by and are available exclusively to members, to sponsors, or can only be found through various levels of re-sale. For others, tickets are available but can only be bought in-person, with local ID/bank cards, or through various other inventive ways of wasting your time. We will make sure to find tickets for you and guarantee their authenticity.
- The access to the stadium is filled with different controls and security checks in which police and fans get mixed up, sometimes creating tension. Our expert guides have navigated these sites dozens of times, know the ins and outs, and can anticipate and handle these situations so you don’t have to.
- Many football fans in Argentina are not used to seeing tourists and barely speak English. In a way, this is what makes our experience truly authentic, and we will help with Spanish so no language barriers affect your match-day.
- Many supporters will appreciate it if you show your support through your clothing, by wearing the club's merchandise like a shirt, beanie, jacket, etc. Dressing with the club colours will be fine, but if you want a jersey make sure to take a look at our store.
- Football in Argentina is an amazing subculture. Our expert guide will let you know everything you need about the context of the game, the history of the clubs, the traditional pre-game rituals, the meaning of the songs you will hear, the significance of the flags and symbols, and more.
- The chaos and unpredictability in Argentine football are what makes it uniquely beautiful, and uniquely frustrating. The League often decides fixtures at the last moment, and changes can happen late on also. If this is the case, we will let you know in advance for you to make a decision according to your availability.
